About this sitter

I am a responsible, careful and respectful individual with an inherited fondness for animals. I am looking for no specific characteristics in a house sit, beyond a sense that it is reasonably safe. Coming from the country, but living in the city, I tend to be interested in quiet places where I can see the stars a night. I am married, and it is possible I would come with my wife, but mostly it would just be me.

Local sits are for fee at a base rate of $30 per night and subject to negotiation based on distance from K2A 1H7 postal code.

Why they want to house sit

I'm not fond of whirlwind tours; I prefer to get a sense of a place by living, to the extent feasible, like a local. I enjoy solitary travel, but it can be lonely and even boring. Having a residence and some pets or farm animals to care for would give me something worthwhile to do while enjoying a change of scenery.

Their experience

I house-sat as a kid, but not recently. I sometimes help my teenaged son who house-sits locally. I spent a couple of months walking my neighbour's dog after work when she (the neighbour) was laid up.

What can they bring to the assignment

I get from my paternal grandmother a genuine concern for the welfare of animals. As the owner of an ~70-year-old house I have some sense house care. Overall, I bring qualities of resourcefulness, care and attention to detail and respect for others' property.
